the coast of california


Looking at a map of California is like looking at my palm. Something I never really studied before, but when I take a close look it reveals all kinds of things. As I scan the lengthy coastline, I realize that I've driven the entire length of California. In fact, I have driven certain stretches innumerable times. From Chula Vista to Eureka every place has a memory. Some drives are too torturous to tell, but others were crazy freedom. Most of my life is mapped out in that coastline; California is imprinted upon me. What the heck do I do with that knowledge?
